This is a special concert by the combined Havant Orchestras to celebrate our memories of our founder
and outstanding musical director for 50 years,
Peter Craddock, BEM, who passed away in 2017.

We are extremely grateful
to former Bob Harding bursary holders and current distinguished conductors
Mark Wigglesworth and
Toby Purser
for their help in setting up and
conducting this concert, and to our current bursary holder
Stefano Boccacci
who will be conducting the last movement of Maurice Blower’s
Symphony in C, for which Peter prepared and conducted HSO’s World
Premiere performance in 2008.
